shadow of man

I remember watching this film for the first time when I was in junior high school. I
fell asleep after watching it and fell asleep until the
last credits sounded before I woke up and
decided to watch it again seriously
. I believe that many people’s experience of watching this film for the first time should be as
anxious as me. The scene that makes the silence extremely long
is very misleading to think that this is a popcorn movie where blood and guns are intertwined,
but
this understanding is completely wrong.
I really want to understand it and
understand why the little girl is confronted with questions
Holding the bomb and shaking his head
, "I don't want this either."
"I can't help it."
"Mercy can't save this country."
Or is it not looking forward to the future?
I read a lot of comments
and listened to a lot of analysis for
11 years.
I have watched this film for 6 discs
. Every time I have a different understanding. Some people think that Fu Yigui
is benevolent. He's cruel, knowing that it's all a trap and letting other people fall into it, and making a woman go from cheating to loving him . A good movie is like that. There are always many angles to understand . An interview with Mamoru Oshii about his original intentions for the production of the film . So, which understanding can be said to be in the right direction?











And behind this word
is disgusting despicable behavior.
I often feel that Oshii Mamoru seems to be the lowest creature in his eyes.
Human beings
have the highest intelligence
and then do the lowest things.
He said that
everything animals do is only It is for the sake of survival
, and a large part of everything human beings do is for the desire
. The desire mentioned here has nothing to do with survival.
In this film,
Mamoru Oshii uses the medium of politics
to let us see what people really
want for something .
To what extent is it omnipotent?
Friendship and love have fallen in this story
and are accepted irrefutably
because these two things are
just a piece of skin in the story
and it's thin
even if it's 12 Years later,
the problems reflected in this film are not outdated
. In the so-called age of innocence,
impurities have been mixed into it,
but we were blinded by the so-called innocence at the time.
It reminds me of "Battle Royale"
When we are basically insulated from reality,
we ignore the despicable praise of the greatness of human nature,
but when we touch reality,
can we still sing praises without any hesitation as before?
